Hey look. The light got nice. The cicadas are loud as ****. I'll get better video when I make one of my friends record some full throttle stuff or stick some go pros on the outside.
Any comments regarding fading plastic will be disregarded. I'm burnt out on this stuff lol.

Cool how it almost looks like a factory install, with the engine slant and abundance of OEM parts. If it weren't for the cone filter and gold heat shield, anyone would think it came like that from the factory.

It's got the fake ignition coil made from a relay, diode, transistor and the tach divider set to 19 in the VEMS

940t overflow tanks are the only way to go and they are like 30 bucks new from the dealer

You're going to need big wheels to fit those 20" carbon ceramic discs.
